Three Part Series: How to Specify Custom High Pressure Laminate

Part Three: Effective Sign Solutions for Parks & Open Space Projects

When visitors come to your park, they’re expecting to feel both invited and directed. Is there an entrance sign? Where do I park? Is there a dog park? Walking trail? In this blog, we’ll discuss the importance of great signage and why it should be seen as an essential element of your community’s park planning.

Include Signage in your list of Essential Park Amenities

Landscape architects and city planners know the importance of choosing quality for key park amenities. Trees, plants and grass are selected based on the park’s geographic location. Pavers, concrete and play surfaces have to be long lasting and safe for children. Benches, trash receptacles and lighting must be durable and easy to maintain. Playground equipment should ideally be fun and accommodate children of all ages. What about signage? Why not consider durable, long lasting sign solutions for your park & open space projects! After all, first impressions are important. A great sign tells visitors they are entering a great park – it’s simple as that!

Park Signage boost your ROI

While it’s clear that great signage impacts your community’s reputation by creating a positive and welcoming experience for your visitors, signs can also impact your park’s return on investment. One of the most affordable ways you can ensure your city’s outdoor spaces appear lively and engaging is by displaying beautiful, prominent, and permanent signage.

The Benefits of Parks and Open Spaces

  • A higher quality of life for residents: Parks can help everyone stay healthy—physically, and emotionally. A great park draws communities together and attracts people to it.
  • Better property value: Parks and outdoor spaces are proven to increase property values and boost the local economy.
  • Increased economic value: Beautiful parks draw in outside programs and events, which can create added revenue and increased tourism, not to mention, increased community pride.

Inform, Direct and Captivate Visitors with Custom Park Signage

Gone are the days when landscape architects and city planners viewed signs as merely an auxiliary and addition to their parks—an afterthought. Parks are an essential driver of development and people choose neighborhoods with well designed parks that include effective sign solutions.

Unfortunately, a lot of communities are concerned signage will be high-maintenance and age too quickly, but that’s not the case when you use high-pressure laminate or HPL. Durable, weather-resistant, and easy to maintain, Custom High Pressure Laminate (CHPL) is the material of choice for parks and recreation professionals. CHPL is the perfect solution for the following sign types:

  • Wayfinding
  • Regulatory
  • Identification
  • Interpretive
